       students will be challenged with a multi-level culmination exercise, 
       helping to reinforce the skills gained during the week and acquire 
       new skills as well.  This culmination exercise will not only test the 
       students understanding of the Python language, but will also help 
       demonstrate the different areas within network operations that 
       Python can be useful.  Students will be required to think creatively to 
       get through this challenge.
